I've just begun a sponsorship agreement with Myers Park Life Magazine, a fabulous local publication dedicated to the homes and businesses in my wonderful corner of Charlotte.

The art market is hopping in Atlanta! My driver is loaded up again and headed to Huff Harrington -- third trip since November 2013! Here is a sneak peak of what is arriving on Thursday, February 19th!
Don't look - more nudes. :) Love these.
Thanks to such an amazing gallery!
Once a year I paint a few small paintings for this great event. All paintings are under $1000. Here is a preview. Even a 10X10 nude from Provincetown.
So I return from Provincetown very excited to continue to explore the abstracted nude.
I finished up a couple that I started during the workshop and sent the images to a couple of galleries and they were politely declined. The common comment being that they LOVED them but felt they did not have the market for them.
So in other words we cannot sell your nudes.
I have been in this business long enough to know that what one market cannot sell there is another market that can. So my forever faithful Atlanta gallery, Huff Harrington, applauded my new nudes and sold them both to a "famous" local designer within the week.
I just had to go further south.
They are eager for more and I am thrilled to have a new venue to explore light, texture and abstraction. I somehow feel like the real deal when I am working from life and having a true conversation with my canvas.
Stay Tuned on more Nudes.
Angela was honored to participate in "The Fab Five: Hibbard, Kinard, Kinkead, Nesbit and Schmidt", a group show at Shain Gallery on November 15, 2013.
Other artists featured included the talented Brian Hibbard, Christy Kinard, Rebecca Kinkead and Jane Schmidt.
I have been contemplating the long journey up to Provincetown, MA to paint with Cynthia Packard for several years now.
I am very hard to impress or to even get my attention but I have been infatuated and intrigue by the famous Packard family for many years. I have watched Cynthia's incredible and sometimes a little crazy YouTube casts and interviews. I have read many articles and blogs about Cynthia and her ubber famous Mom, Ann Packard.
The time never seemed right and a little bit of hesitation has loomed over me. Something pushed me over the edge this past summer to mail my check and booked my flight and reserved a room for her September workshop.
From the moment I landed I knew this was a place I would have to return. Intoxicating views, forever inspiring imagery, gorgeous weather and fabulously colorful and creative people. As one friend mentioned, you came from Wonder Bread and landed in the most open and free spot on earth.
I immediately made a new friend who gave me a ride from the airport, showed me where Cynthia's Studio was located and invited me to a big party. What a town.
Cynthia was unbelievable- Full of fire, passion and energy. Almost exhausting to watch her at times. She is a true artist. Very pure- no copy cat here- she is the real deal. She reminded me to have a conversation with the canvas and to let go. Please google her and take a look for yourself.
I will make this an annual pilgrimage to make sure I remember what is means to be an artist, stay true to myself, that I continue to grow and challenge myself.
One of the Two Packard Galleries in town. They bought an old Scientology Church and converted to a gallery
Cynthia's Palette - pretty cool!
Dingy boats were everywhere!
